The DIP506 is a high accuracy programmable panel meter, for gauge
bridge inputs. It is equipped on its front face with a red display of five
14mm high digits, whose brighness suits applications in industrial control
rooms perfectly.
It allows display, control and transmission of data from all types of strain
gauges or pressure sensors.
• The DIP506 entails as standard version:
4 bidirectionnal voltage calibers:
± 10mV, ±20mV, ±50mV, ±100mV
Accuracy = 0,05% of the measure range at 25°C
Thermic drift < 200 ppm/°C
Measurable overstepping from -5% to 5% of caliber
Enlarging effect
Special linearisation in 20 points
Bridge excitation voltage:
Programmable 5V ±0,1% or 10V ± 0,1%, 120mA max.
Line resistance: 20 Ω max.
• The DIP506 S is the fast version of DIP506 with 50 acquisitions per
second instead of 10 acquisitions for the standard version
AVAILABLE OPTIONS: (specify on order)
Insulated analog output: A
Active or passive current output, or voltage output.

From the measuring, several funtions are available simply by
pressing 1 key, or 2 simultaneously.
All accesses to these functions can be modified in the menu
SEt.CF. (see page 10 ).
As standard, these functions are:
Direct access by pressing 1 key:
Display of the min. value (AF.inF see page 18 ).
Display of the Max. value (AF.SUP see page 18 ).
zero reset of the min. and Max. values (clr.M see page 18 ).
Access to the main menu (not modifiable, see page 5 ).
Direct measure visualising (see page 18 );
Visualising and setting of alarm setpoints (see page 18)
Access to menu tare (see page 18 );
Zero reset of alarm memories (see page 17 );
Tare zero reset (see page 18 );
Automatic input setting (not modifiable,
see page 19 );

Measurable input limits: -5 to +5% of measure range
Example for caliber 100mV : from -110 to +110mV
Special linearisation:
For specific applications, the meter can memorise an unlinear curve
programmable in X and in Y.
The curve resulting from your equation can be replaced by a series of lin-
ear segments, with a maximum of 20 points
(19 segments).
Note: The values of the abscisses (x) have to go increasing d.in < A01
value < A02 value ...< F.in.
The adjusting of the points can be either manual or automatic (see page
19).

LOGIC inputs (optional)
• Board of 2 LOGIC inputs : Input signal 24 Vdc
Possible functions:
Display holding in case function LOGIC is activated .
The display and the analog output remain unchanged even if
the input signal varies. The relays still react to the input signal.
Zero reset of min. and Max. The activation of function LOGIC
will reset min. and Max. to zero
Activation of the function tare.
The meter switches to mode tare, the tare being the display

increasesIt is active both on switching and switching back.
• Time delay position
Time delay on switching on alarm
Time delay on switching on alarm and off alarm
• Latching function
Allows recording of the alarm after passing of the setpoint. When
measure reverts under the alarm setpoint, the relay remains switched
and the Led blinks to warn the user that the setpoint has been passed (to
reset the alarm recordings to zero see menu page 17)
Note : Exit from mode programming saving the configuration will reset the
alarm recordings to zero.
• Display of the alarm messages
A programme alarm message can be made to appear alternating with
measure . The message will appear only during the alarm state, when the
associated Led is lit.
• Setting of setpoints: There are 2 ways to adjust setpoints:
- either in mode programming by entering the correct access code
- or by pressing simultaneously on and if the access to a fast
entering has been authorized during programming of the code (see p18)
· On the relays:
No influence of error detections on the relay
Relay desactivated (coil not supplied) in case of error
detection
Relay activated (coil supplied) in case of error detection
Note : The Led is either still or lit according to its programming in menu
rELAY.
· On the analog output
If a return value has been programmed
Value included between: 0 and 22 mA (current output)
or 0 and 11 V (voltage output)
4.6.4 Safeties:
The meter permanently watches some of its internal parameters. In case
it detects any odness on one or several of these parameters, it will warn
the user.
The error information can be reported:
· On the display: An error message appears alternating with measure;
an error code is registered and can be read in menu About (see p16)
Coding:
1 : Programming error
2 : Offset error
4 : Offset drift
8 : Input calibration error
16 : Output calibration error
32 : Internal drift
64 : Input upper or lower electrical overstepping
If the instrument detects for instance an offset error (2) and an offset drift
error (4) the error code value will be 6 (2+4).

• Filtering:
In order to optimise the filtering and response time, the instrument is
provided with a digital filter, programmable on 2 parameters.
Filtering integration indice: programmable from 0 to 10
Measure range on which the filter will be active, set in %
(0,1; 0,5; 1 ; 5; 10 ;100 %)
eg : IntEG : 3 F.band : 0,5 %
The indice 3 filter is active when measure varies by ± 0,5% . When it
overstepps 0,5% it is no longer filtered. This allows a min. response
time, while cutting off a parasite noise of ±0,5% covering the signal and
causing an unsteady measure. If F.band = 100% the filter becomes
active on the whole measure range.

Programming menu of the internal self-calibration.
• Internal self-calibration: the insrument will at intervals perform an
internal self-calibration, in order to catch up with any drifts of its
components.
During this operation, the instrument response time can be of 120 ms in
mode fast and 360 ms in mode normal.
These self-calibrations are performed every 10 seconds during the 10
minutes following a setting on tension (time necessary for stabilisation
of the components).
After this time, the instrument will perform a self-calibration if the
internal temperature varies by approx. 3°C.
This self-calibration can be deleted by programming in the case where
the variations temperature variations are not too significant, where the
instrument response time is necessary and a light drift in temperature of
the measure can be admitted.

The insrument will also perform 3 self-calibrations during the 30 sec-

or after an electrical overstepping on the input (if input > 110% of the

5.3 Automatic setting
(according to programmed access code see p 16)
Menu accessible by pressing keys +
in mode measure.
Note : The instrument must be connected to the sensor and under volt-
age since15 min. at least before the setting in order to have a steady
temperature.
Before performing the automatic setting, the input caliber, the type of
curve (linear or special) as well as the number of points in the case of
the special curve (see page 11) must be defined in the programming
menu.
Apply on the sensor the value corresponding to the point to be set.
Press simultaneously on keys + to access the menu and use
or to select the point to be adjusted.
After pressing key the instrument will indicate during 3 seconds
the value in mV it is measuring, and then the value of the scale factor
corresponding to this point.
Confirm or enter a new value by .
Pressing key during the display or entering of the scale factor
allows to go on to the next point setting without saving the previously
set point.
Pressing key during the display of d.in Axx or F.in allows exit from
the automatic setting. The instrument will then offer to save the setting,
or not.
Note: The instrument will automatically revert to mode measure without
saving the settings if no key is pressed during 15 min.
If the caliber defined in the programming is not well adapted in relation
to the adjusted points, the instrument will show message out.rA during 3
seconds on setting exit.
To obtain a better accuracy, it is then preferable to programme a lower
caliber and go through the setting again.
Message out.rA also appears during an electrical overstepping during
the setting. In this case, choose the higher caliber in the programming
menu.
